    I thought he would be really good.
    He’s 96 mph fastball gets blown by NOBODY.
    He’s sinker is ah. And cutter stinks 75% of time.
    Only good pitch is the slurve.
    I just got to lvl 80 bronze and wow what a waste of a pick. Knew I should have took Hal with that good fastball and that huge slow bender.
    I’m so disappointed with myself I didn’t ask for advice and go with my gut by taking the big fastball.
    Ik kluber is probably old news to you guys that play a lot more. But wow I do just as good with my 85s.
    You can’t fool a good hitter with him.
    LS Chris sale is much better. I can go on and on. Probably the worst 99 pitcher all year.
    AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRESTIGE HIM. Getting that FB up 2 ticks or so would be a game changer.

    Kluber is still top dog IMO, I don't really like Newhouser.

    Kluber 147 innings 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP 11.5 K/9

    Newhouser 132 innings 4.23 ERA, 1.03 WHIP 10.01 K/9

    If you’re struggling with him learn to pitch with him, yah he’s used a lot but he’s good if you can locate and mix it up

    Are those #'s in ranked seasons?

    I took him because of the control over Hal because I love pitching. And I’ve pitched a great game with him. But he is still underwhelming. Doesn’t scare anyone. And def don’t have to worry about his fastball at all.
    And no Franklin. It’s not trolling. My honest opinion after being disappointed .

    No. I said he is underwhelming. I didn’t say I get rocked with him. I mean all his pitches look the same.

    Yes, a few stats from early events, but roughly 90% ranked I'd estimate

    He’s just not dominate like Kershaw was at the befgining of last year. And even long into it.

    I still find him to be more than serviceable. But people see him 10 times a day now so it might be that players are used to him. However if you can mix pitches well he’s dominant. That cutter is disgusting on both sides of the plate l.

    Fair, IMO he's dominant unless there's user error

    He’s the best in the game, but facing him every day for 3 months has made it more manageable.

    I’ve played over 90 games on ranked and it’s safe to say I’ve seen him in some capacity in about half. And I’m not better at hitting him

    Yeah, this sounds like a case of oversaturation. He was probably more dominant earlier. I git hit him better than the guys who throw 102, but I am playing on AS, I would say the HOF levels with smaller PCI would be harder to hit since all his stuff moves. But if you are talking about his FB not being fast enough, then that is a problem with how you are using him.
